No one succeeds alone. In fact, our ideas and impact can multiply when we collaborate with the right people, at the right time, on the right ONE Thing.

Last week, we shared about a new ONE Thing tool to help people discover their core values and live their purpose—the Core Values Deck. We’re going to dive into the story of how the idea for that deck became a collaboration in order to reach more people and make a bigger impact.

Opportunities are everywhere, and with every new opportunity, you have to choose: do you say yes or no? And when you’re a leader, this choice affects everyone within your organization. But when everyone understands each others’ core values, you’ll be able to align your decision making with what matters most and multiply your efforts.

In a world full of choices, deciding what matters most can be tricky. We know extraordinary success is about leaning into our priorities and avoiding distractions—but how do we know when to say yes and when to say no?

Many people are searching for purpose. They want clarity on That ONE Thing so that they can make better decisions and have a direction for their life. But the truth is that clarifying your purpose is not always easy. Tapping into Your ONE Thing is a journey, not a lightning bolt.

To help you navigate that journey, Jay Papasan talks about a new tool we’re developing here at The ONE Thing: The Core Values Deck. Jay has been a driver behind making this project a reality, and he shares how identifying your values can be a compass for your life and a tool to point you in the direction of your purpose.

Every year, millions of people create New Year’s resolutions around their financial goals. And every year, millions of people give up or just run out of steam.

When it comes to money, creating goals can be a little daunting. The gap between where you are and where you want to be can feel overwhelming, even insurmountable.

But Justin Donald shows us that achieving your financial goals is not impossible. Justin is a family man with a business, not the other way around. He set a goal in his early 20’s to stop trading hours for dollars and create the freedom to buy back his time however he chooses. He now has the ability to choose to invest in the relationships that he wants as his number-one priority — and he did it by building habits that brought him closer to his financial goal one step at a time.

Right now, you have an opportunity to choose a habit that will help you achieve your goals and you decide the future that you want for yourself. But you have to take action.

We invite you to join Kaelyn and Geoff in reflecting back on 2020, and we hope you’ll join us in the journey of habit creation in 2021. This year is going to come with some unique challenges, but you can still come out on top if you make a plan and enlist support.

Everything we do here at The ONE Thing is about time. Specifically, helping you better invest your time so you can achieve extraordinary results.

When you invest your money, you have an expectation of gaining a return on that investment. While this is a widely known expectation, most people don’t hold their time to the same standard. As we talk about living an extraordinary life, a lot of it comes down to not living a life of regret  — and one of the most common regrets we hear is that people spent too much time at work, at the expense of investing their time with the people they love.

What would it look like if you put your family first? If you made your family your ONE Thing, and made your business come after? That’s what Jon Vroman did. He woke up every morning saying he was going to be the best dad in the world, but he realized his calendar wasn’t saying the same thing. Find out what it looked like to go on the journey to becoming a family man with a business and not a businessman with a family.

This is part two of our interview series with Gary Keller, co-author of “The ONE Thing” and chairman of Keller-Williams Realty.

In the last episode, we explored why deciding your habits decides your future and Gary talked about his fool-proof process for achieving any goal.

In this episode, we dive into how Gary invests his time. Time is our most valuable resource: the one we can’t get more of. But most people go through life spending their time instead of investing it. When you invest your time, you expect a return, just like with money. Gary walks you through how he views time, how he plans it out as an investment, and why we behave the way we behave.
